in proportion to their ability to imi-
tate the of u rough. They
seem to copy the ways of the worst,
rather than those of the best men in
tho community. Roaming the streets
at night, they are noisy, profane, and
full of schemes of malicious mischief
and respect neither persons nor pro-
perty. Such boys are fitting them
selves for lives of worthlessness, and
possibly for reformatory and penal
institutions. Their parents and friends
should get over some of their indiff-
erence and endsavsr to exercise u
guiding, restraining and correcting
influence.
A peculiar and what might have
peen a serious accident happened on
the west bound passenger train as it
vas leaving the village Thursday az
ternoon. A six year old boy eluded
the vigilance Of his mother, got out Of
the coach to the platform and tell
from the train near the section house.
| The train passed on for over two
miles before the child was missed.
Conductor Lewis then promptly.
stopped the train and backed cautious
ly into the village. The child, it was
learned had escaped without injury,
but, in his fright, had started OIL
across the prairie. Mr.. Lewis left the
mother at the depot, well provided
for and started Marshal Griffith n
Others in search OF the boy. The boy
was soon found and restored to his
mother. They continued their jour
ney on the nj 1ht train. The day
train was delayed an hour by the &C.
cident.
The citizens Of Herman met Mt the
Grant County Bank last Thursday
for a discussion OF railway abuses and
determinations and appointed u conf
mittee consisting of Gen. Rarrett,
Senator Hixson, n. b. Uford, A. &.
Earsley and C. NJ. Stevens to formu-
late n statement of things needing
correction and to present them to the
railway commissioners when they
arrived at Herman the following day.
The exorbitant grain rate, rates on
wood, the four cents per mile
passenger rate, lack ~oftransfer facili-
ties from the Manitoba to reads inter
secting 1t and numerous other mat
ter of Importance received IL at
tention. The unity Of pur. ose and
concert Of action shown by the citi-
lens Of Herman, in this as we'll rs in
all other matters Of general inter-
est, might be initiated with profit by
the people of all other vilages-Mor-
ris, for instance.
Mrs. Whiteley keeps on hand all
kinds of notions and fancy goods.
Don't put all Of your eggs in one
basket" is an old injunction that
farmers, at least, should heed care
fully. Those who trust their all to
wheat or to any other crop are
sure to fail in the long run. Diyersi-
fed or mixed farming is the only
method in which there Is any safety.
In addition to wheat, there should be
oats, barley, corn, potatoes, horses,
cattle, sheep, hogs, etc. etc. Where
such is til case, work is distributed
through the year, there is less ex-
haustion Of the SOL. there are a va
riety Of commodities to market, and
under no circumstance considered
possible Is there a loss of creos that
will include the whole list. The
farmer is sure to have something to
sell each year and something that
will bring a good price. Diversified
flrming will also result in smaller
farms, greater productiveness from
the same acreage, varied abundance,
more comfort, denser population, and
more convenient churches and schools
Bonanza wheat farming is II of the
things that were and diversified
farming is the method for the future.
Bear in mind that the Cheap Cash
Store is headquarters for tea.
The country editor does more work
and gives more for the least money
than any other business man OIL this
green footstool. 1t is frequently
thrown out that they get comps" to
everything. Very true they do in
most cases, but generelly they give
the equiveiant in ad vertising in adj
vance, and then while other people
are enjoying the entertainment the
newspaper fellow has to be on the al
ert to discover the shifts" and either
| charge his mind until at the close it
is rather a relief than I'll enjoyment,
